Omarr's Daily Astrological Forecast August 30, 2011

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Cameron Diaz was born in San Diego today in 1972. This birthday gal has starred in such hits as "There's Something About Mary," "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Shrek." Her most recent starring role was in the comedy "Bad Teacher."

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The established norms are irksome. Routines and responsibilities stifle your ingenuity and creativity. Bypass and ignore people who doubt you, criticize you, or are just plain unpleasant and arrogant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone might lure you with loads of love and attention. You might be a wee bit suspicious of flattery and attention from a potential heartthrob, but you will discover the truth of the matter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ride high on a bubble of enthusiasm as long as you don't neglect mundane tasks. Get your name on a list of donors to a good cause as it makes good business sense and also makes you feel good.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): This year, you won't find a bird in last year's nest. Just because something worked well in the past does not mean that it will bring anything but frustration. Don't beat your head against wall.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It could be a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. Put your "I'm in charge" attitude aside and delegate as well as relegate authority. Success is achieved when everyone is willing to cooperate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get what you need and need what you get. If you need a helping hand, advice or support, this is the time to find it. Enthusiastic friends may urge you to dive right into a new project or accept a proposal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Kindness counts. There may be several worthy causes that clamor for your support or people who are aggravating that need reassurance rather than a reprimand. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Follow the safe path and you won't slide off in a ditch. Sometimes unusual or untried ideas are untried for a reason, and not every time is the right time to blaze a new trail. Stick to solid ground in your efforts this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Use the buddy system. Your social circle will keep you from straying out of line and offer you a safe haven when problems pop up. One friend in particular could try to test your patience.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Problems are actually a problem. The harder you knock your head against the wall trying to fix them all by yourself, the more your head hurts. Ask for assistance and you will be pleasantly surprised.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes, more is less. You might regret impulse purchases, so find the sales slip and make a return. It is better to be honest about what you want and need than to live with your impulsive mistakes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Every ending marks a new beginning. Rather than going back to reread the first chapter, you should mark the page and resume reading the next one. Don't regret progress or the changes that occur.

IF AUGUST 30 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: True romance may knock on your door in October, but if a job or career move is needed, an opportunity to make progress on the material level may appear as well. Others may be dazzled by your talents in the 12 months ahead. Your sparkle and pizzazz are turned to "high" for much of the year -- but especially in December, when your tenacity will win you the domination over circumstances you seek. Take advantage of helpful stars to promote your own interests in February by asking for a raise or applying for that better job you deserve. Go ahead and wish upon a star, as you will certainly have your important wishes granted.
